Knee braces for osteoarthritis works by providing external support to a damaged or injured musculoskeletal system. Osteoarthritis is a type of arthritis that causes the gradual depletion of cartilage within the knee joint. It is a degenerative condition that can affect any age group, though the risk increases with age. As the cushion provided by the cartilage depletes, the friction between the bones increases causing increased wear and tear of the knee structure. The disease usually affects one side of the knee more than the other. This unevenly distributed degeneration can cause misalignment of the bone structure in the knee. As the damage progresses, this misalignment worsens. A knee brace can take pressure off the damaged part and help relieve pain. Knee braces are of different types, your orthopedic surgeon may suggest the most suitable type of brace depending on your condition. Unloader braces are the best type of braces designed to reduce friction between bones. They are molded from plastic and foam that helps stabilize the knee. Besides providing external support, a knee brace works to correct your gait. Ready to wear braces available in the market may not fit all. Custom –made braces are slightly expensive but they are made keeping in mind the individual requirements.. In poorly fitted braces, the skin under the brace may become sore and irritated. Some people also experience swelling around the joint. However, with time and a few modifications most patients find a comfortable fit.
